The parade itself will step off at 10 AM, beginning at the new shopping plaza, Long Hill Market, and ending at Town Hall. Groups wishing to march may register online.
The town will fly flags on Main Street from Memorial Day until September 11th. If you wish to sponsor a flag, please see our town website’s Memorial Day page for a purchase form. You may purchase a flag in honor of, or in memory of, a soldier who is deceased, has served, or is currently serving. Anyone can sponsor a flag in honor of all soldiers. The names of those being remembered or honored will appear in the program.
Please join us in honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
